A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

Chapter 724 Research Begins

After arriving in New York, Lu Cheng did not contact Shan Rogers and Ge Er immediately. Instead, he found a place to stay and learned more about Byron Mitch Biotechnology Company and Weihe Venture Capital Company through the Internet.

At this time, Weihe Venture Capital was already auctioning Byron Mitch Company, but had not yet found a buyer. The price was also reduced from the initial 30 million US dollars to 20 million, but still no one was interested.

At the same time, Lu Cheng also found another piece of information through the Internet that a biopharmaceutical company called Wessel Hall is also currently studying blood orchids and pythons.

The big boss behind this biopharmaceutical company is named Murdoch. He has been diagnosed with bone cancer and after multiple treatments failed, he placed all his hopes on the research of blood orchids and pythons.

It was this Murdoch who had previously spent a large sum of money to hire an expedition team to Borneo, collected some blood orchids, and brought back two baby pythons, one male and one female.

Today, the Wessel Hall Biopharmaceutical Company is studying the cultivation of blood orchids and extracting their effective chemical components to inject into the two young pythons, one male and one female.

The third and fourth parts of "Anaconda" tell the story of two giant pythons raised by Wessel Hall Company escaping from the laboratory and fighting fiercely with the hunting team.

Compared with Byron Mitch Biotech, Wessel Hall Biotech is obviously more professional and has invested more money.

After all, the big boss behind the research, Murdoch, is facing death threats, so he naturally spared no effort to support this research. The current investment has exceeded 5000 million US dollars.

After learning this information, Lu Cheng first went to meet Ms. Shan. Under her guidance, he visited the laboratory of Byron Mitch Company. Then he was a little disappointed. This laboratory was only of average level and did not meet the standards that Lu Cheng wanted. Many of the experimental equipment were relatively backward.

Seeing that Lu Cheng seemed dissatisfied, Shan took the initiative to speak: "Lu, if you want to buy more advanced experimental equipment, I can help you contact them."

"That would be great. I have some things to do next, so I won't stay in New York. If you have contacted the experimental equipment, you can send me an email."

After arriving in New York, Lu Cheng consulted a lot of information and learned about the many warm and tropical rainforests in the United States. He compared the growth environment of the Borneo blood orchid and selected several places that might be suitable for the growth of blood orchids.

Afterwards, Lu Cheng went to southern United States regions such as Texas, Louisiana and Florida, and further inspected several rainforests. He finally selected a jungle in Florida as the breeding base for blood orchids.

Afterwards, Lu Cheng returned to New York and took the initiative to approach Murdoch, the big boss behind Wessel Hall Company, to discuss cooperation with him.

"Mr. Murdoch, I heard that your company is studying the blood orchids and giant pythons of Borneo, hoping to develop a serum that can cure bone cancer. Perhaps I can help you."

"Who are you? How do you know all this?"

"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I can save your life."

"Why should I trust you, a strange Oriental?"

"I have three pills here that can help you inhibit the spread of bone cancer to a certain extent. You can take them back and try them. If you are still worried, you can also ask someone to study the ingredients of the pills first. This kind of pill is the crystallization of Chinese traditional medicine technology that has been passed down for thousands of years in China. It is not inferior to the serum technology you want to study."

Although Murdoch was somewhat skeptical about Lu Cheng, this oriental man who suddenly appeared and was able to come directly to him, the other party had not made any demands yet. Instead, he gave him three pills.

For a man facing the threat of death, he was unwilling to give up any opportunity to try.

Therefore, Murdoch immediately had the pill taken for research, and found a patient who also suffered from bone cancer. He asked the patient to take half a pill, and then examined him again.

A few days later, Murdoch, who had taken the pill, took the initiative to contact Lu Cheng and made an appointment to meet.

At this time, Murdoch's condition was better than a few days ago. The bone cancer in his body was suppressed and all examination indicators had improved.

Therefore, when the two met, Murdoch's attitude was very enthusiastic: "Mr. Lu, do you still have the same kind of elixir? I am willing to pay a high price for it, one hundred thousand, or even five hundred thousand, the price is up to you."

Lu Cheng smiled slightly: "Mr. Murdoch, that kind of medicine can only play a suppressive role, and it cannot completely cure bone cancer. If you want to cure it, you still need to use blood orchid."

In fact, with Lu Cheng's medical skills at the level of a medical saint, even if Murdoch was on the verge of death, Lu Cheng could save him.

But directly healing the other person would not do much good to himself, so Lu Cheng would not let this sucker go easily.

"I need full control of your laboratory and need to purchase a piece of land in the jungle of Florida to cultivate blood orchids."

Murdoch was silent for a moment, staring at Lu Cheng for a while, and then he said, "Okay! I can agree to all these conditions, but you must produce results as soon as possible. Otherwise, I will never let you go."

"Of course, I won't joke about my own life."

Lu Cheng certainly wouldn't joke about his own life, but if anyone wanted to joke about his life, he would first make sure that person would never laugh again.

Although Lu Cheng had sufficient funds on hand, this was the United States after all. For an Oriental person to set up a company and build his own laboratory here, there would still be many troubles.

With this Murdoch, everything is much easier.

At the same time, Ms. Shan also contacted several of the most advanced experimental equipment manufacturers and sent the relevant information and quotations to Lu Cheng.

Afterwards, Lu Cheng visited Wessel Hall's laboratory and blood orchid breeding base, made another list, and asked Murdoch to purchase another batch of experimental instruments to improve the laboratory.

After preparing everything, Lu Cheng directly spent eleven destiny points to upgrade his planting skills to the maximum level.

With the full-level planting skills, and after careful research on the blood orchid and a detailed understanding of the soil in which it grows, Lu Cheng has become familiar with the cultivation of blood orchids. He can even adjust and optimize its production environment so that the grown blood orchids have a higher effective content and better medicinal effects.

Afterwards, Lu Cheng cooperated with Murdoch to purchase an area in a jungle in Florida, transformed it into an environment suitable for the growth of blood orchids, and established a breeding base.

At the same time, Lu Cheng also asked Murdoch to send people to China to purchase a batch of rare medicinal materials.

Western biological science research focuses more on extracting certain chemical substances from plants and finding out the ingredients that are effective for the human body through chemical reactions.

Although this process is simple and direct, it is also full of great uncertainty. There are too many possibilities as to whether the extracted substances are useful and what results the chemical reactions will produce.

In the original movie, after a long period of research, the Wessel Hall Company only managed to breed two violent pythons using serum, and it was unable to make any breakthrough progress during animal experiments.

The research of TCM theory is obviously different from the research of Western biological science. TCM has its own set of philosophical theories, which focuses more on the combination of various medicines, and achieves a wonderful balance through the monarch, minister, assistant and envoy, so as to improve the internal balance of the human body and finally present the desired results.

In comparison, traditional Chinese medicine, which has accumulated thousands of years of culture, is actually more complex and pays more attention to experience accumulation.

Many people in later generations, even if they have learned and applied the prescriptions left by their predecessors, have not fully understood the mysteries within them.

Therefore, after Lu Cheng took over the laboratory of Wessel Hall Biomedical Technologies, he led the research in the direction he wanted.

Murdoch didn't worry about the specific research, he only cared about the results and just wanted a drug that could cure his bone cancer.

And Lu Cheng would prepare some effective medicine for him every once in a while, so that Murdoch's health would improve a little and keep him alive.

Murdoch did not completely trust Lu Cheng, and at the same time he formed a scientific research team to focus on the study of pythons and serum...
